Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 2885 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2885 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

2885 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2885 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1709.3157667401 kt

The final result is:

2885 ft/s → 1709.3157667401 kt

We conclude that 2885 feet per second is equivalent to 1709.3157667401 knots:

2885 feet per second = 1709.3157667401 knots

Alternative conversion
